The hotel is very nice, and has a lot of interesting history. I had a great stay up until check out. The night lady at the desk had a serious attitude problem. The day shift folk were very helpful and friendly.

A wonderful stay as always! Was greeted warmly by the front desk staff, a nice clean and quiet room and kind staff in the Vertex whom we enjoyed conversation with while having our drinks. Great location, easy to get to the airport for an early morning flight.

This hotel is a classic!! This was a busy weekend night, so the bar, restaurant, and hotel were busy.
The front desk lady, Cynthia, was so kind, helpful and polite. I felt very welcomed!
It’s a historic building, so the elevator isn’t th fastest. The rooftop bar and restaurant are super fun too.
Valet was busy and there seemed to be some people that were canvassing with red hats on at the valet stand. That was frustrating to get through, but it was a busy weekend.
The room was comfortable with nice linens and a spacious bathroom. Be sure to check out all the historic details around the lobby!

Booked last minute while traveling through and needed a quick overnight stay. Upon entering, the lobby was very inviting with beautiful Christmas decorations and a warm fireplace—especially appreciated given how cold it was outside. We visited the on-site Irish pub to watch Sunday night football and were greeted by friendly staff. It was also great that both the hotel and pub are dog-friendly, allowing us to bring our pup along. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean. We would definitely stay here again.
